MONTREAL, Dec. 20, 1885.
DEAR Mr.. CHESTER.
In regard to your Cure, can say that
| think it an excellent preparation. l
have used it and have come much in
contact with its use. The best estimate
of its intrinsic worth is to be drawn
from the fact that the sales increase
steadily with little or no advertising.
One person recommends it to another,
and it's sale is based, in my opinion,
more upon its worth as remedy than
upon the results of public advertising
done in the past. Yours truly,
HENRY MILES,
Manager Lyman Sons & Co.

MRS. J. Nj. JONES.

Died, at her residence in the town of
Paris, on Saturday, August 9th, 1887,
Sarah H., wife of ]. M. Jones, in the
18th year of her age.
The deceased was one of the early
settlers of Kenosha county, settling in
this county in 1843. The earlier settle
ment was made in the town of Brighton,
on the Burlington road, at time when
there We're but few white settlers between
Kenosha and Burlington. During the
war the family moved to the town of
Paris, where they have since lived. De-
ceased left surviving her her husband
and life partner, J. M. Jones children,
D. M. Jones, of Paris, Kenosha county !;
]. B. and j. III. Jones, both of Algona,
Iowa, and Mrs. L. w. Jordan, Of La
Sale, I'll.
| Mrs. Jones had been in poor health
for many years, and for the last three or
four months her life at times seemed to
hang in the balance. Death was to her
a happy release from her suferings.
The deceased, being an old settler, was
very widely known, and all who knew
her can testify to her lovable christian
character. She earnestly desired and
tried faithfully to serve her Lord and
Master.
For the last eighteen years she had
been member of the Congregational
church of Union Grove. although her
poor health and extreme age prevented
her attendance of late years.
The funeral services were held at the
house the following Sabbath at 2 P M.
A very large number Of friends were
present to show respect for the deceased
and sympathy for the bereaved. "Preci-
GUS in the sight of the Lord is the death
of his saints"

OBITUARY.
MRS. E. T. FRANCIS.

Mrs. E. T. Francis, who formerly re-
sided in Kenosha, died at the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. F. III. Smith, at
St. Louis, Mo-, on Monday, the 18th OF
September, of paralysis, aged 81 years.
Mrs. Francis will be remembered by
those among the early settlers of Keno
sha, who resided here in the early his
tory of our city when Kenosha was but
a small village, as the daughter of John
and Anna Benedict, who came to Keno
sha (then Southport) in the year 1912.
In the year 1847 Miss Benedict was
married to Mr.. E. 7. Francis, who was
engaged in mercantile business, asso-
ciated with the late Nathan Hawley as a
partner up to the time of his death,
which occurred in 1866.
Of late years Mrs. Francis has resided
at st. Louis, with her daughter, Mrs. F.
III. Smith.
Her remains were brought to Keno
sha for burial on Wednesday, the SER
vices being held at the residence of her
brother, Daniel B. Benedict, the Rev. III.
Thompson, of the Episcopal church.
officiating. Notwithstanding the short
ness of the notice., a large number of her
old acquaintance and friends were pres
ent to pay their last tribute of respect.
Mrs. Francis leaves son and daughter
Mr.. Geo. HI. Francis, of Chicago, and
Mrs. F. H. Smith, of st. Louis, Mo-, and
a host ofsympathizing friends to mourn
her loss.
Thus one by one the pioneers who
settled Kenosha are being laid to rest in
" the city of the dead"
Not many of us remain who came in
the forties, and we are reminded that in
few years at most our journey will
have ended-having lived to see the
wonderful transition from the barren
prairies and diminutive villages to mag
nificent farms, with splendid appoint
ments of buildings, and cities teeming
with metropolitan life. Com.
